Sheffield Wednesday injury update on Louie Barry – The72
Sheffield Wednesday are awaiting an assessment on Louie Barry after the winger was forced off injured shortly after scoring in their 2-1 League One win at Wycombe Wanderers. The outcome matters because Barry has made a strong early contribution and any absence could weaken the Owls’ attacking options during a promising start to the season.
Manager Henrik Pedersen said tests would establish the extent of the problem, with an update expected the following day. Barry, 23, joined permanently from Aston Villa this summer and has recorded three goals and one assist in six appearances; Wednesday have won three of their opening four league matches.
In short
- Barry will be assessed after leaving the Wycombe win injured.
- He scored before being substituted.
- The winger has three goals in six appearances.
